I can't understand this interpretation of yours.
Would you explain it in some other way? _________________ Please let me know if I have made any mistakes in any of my sentences. |

Hi,
You certainly know what a ladder is, don't you? Now, what can you do with a ladder? You can climb it up or climb it down. In your sentence, "getting up the ladder" means climbing up the ladder or as Mister Micawber put it, ascending the ladder. Does this make sense?

Hi,
What about this -
It was very easy to climb the ladder but the problem/the difficult part was how to get from the top to the bottom of the ladder?
